Add missing entries to NAME section Add SYNOPSIS lines, remove old NAME entries Update find-doc-nits; better regexp's for parsing SYNOPSIS sections. Rename a couple of files to have an API name. Remove RSA_private_decrypt; it was duplicate content Update for recent doc additions Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org>

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_name() returns a pointer to the name of B<cipher>. If the
|
|
B<cipher> is NULL, it returns "(NONE)".
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_bits() returns the number of secret bits used for B<cipher>.
|
|
If B<cipher> is NULL, 0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_version() returns string which indicates the SSL/TLS protocol
|
|
version that first defined the cipher. It returns "(NONE)" if B<cipher> is NULL.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_cipher_nid() returns the cipher NID corresponding to B<c>.
|
|
If there is no cipher (e.g. for ciphersuites with no encryption) then
|
|
B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_digest_nid() returns the digest NID corresponding to the MAC
|
|
used by B<c>. If there is no digest (e.g. for AEAD ciphersuites) then
|
|
B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_kx_nid() returns the key exchange NID corresponding to the method
|
|
used by B<c>. If there is no key exchange, then B<NID_undef> is returned. Examples (not comprehensive):
|
|
|
|
NID_kx_rsa
|
|
NID_kx_ecdhe
|
|
NID_kx_dhe
|
|
NID_kx_psk
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_auth_nid() returns the authentication NID corresponding to the method
|
|
used by B<c>. If there is no authentication, then B<NID_undef> is returned.
|
|
Examples (not comprehensive):
|
|
|
|
NID_auth_rsa
|
|
NID_auth_ecdsa
|
|
NID_auth_psk
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_is_aead() returns 1 if the cipher B<c> is AEAD (e.g. GCM or
|
|
ChaCha20/Poly1305), and 0 if it is not AEAD.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_description() returns a textual description of the cipher used
|
|
into the buffer B<buf> of length B<len> provided. If B<buf> is provided, it
|
|
must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a buffer will be allocated using
|
|
OPENSSL_malloc(). If the provided buffer is too small, or the allocation fails,
|
|
B<NULL> is returned.
|
|
|
|
The string returned by SSL_CIPHER_description() consists of several fields
|
|
separated by whitespace:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item <ciphername>
|
|
|
|
Textual representation of the cipher name.
|
|
|
|
=item <protocol version>
|
|
|
|
Protocol version, such as B<TLSv1.2>, when the cipher was first defined.
|
|
|
|
=item Kx=<key exchange>
|
|
|
|
Key exchange method such as B<RSA>, B<ECDHE>, etc.
|
|
|
|
=item Au=<authentication>
|
|
|
|
Authentication method such as B<RSA>, B<None>, etc.. None is the
|
|
representation of anonymous ciphers.
|
|
|
|
=item Enc=<symmetric encryption method>
|
|
|
|
Encryption method, with number of secret bits, such as B<AESGCM(128)>.
|
|
|
|
=item Mac=<message authentication code>
|
|
|
|
Message digest, such as B<SHA256>.

Some examples for the output of SSL_CIPHER_description():
|
|
|
|
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD
|
|
RSA-PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA384 TLSv1.0 Kx=RSAPSK Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA384

|
=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_get_version() was updated to always return the correct protocol
|
|
string in OpenSSL 1.1.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CIPHER_description() was changed to return B<NULL> on error,
|
|
rather than a fixed string, in OpenSSL 1.1
